I asked if anyone wanted to continue the comparo and a couple of posters indicated that they do. If I had made up my mind to pack it in when I asked the question, I would have just done it instead of asking.
 
Now I'm serious - if you are not interested in this discussion, please stop posting in it. It will dry up and blow away if people stop posting. No one is preventing you from "moving on" as you are requesting.
 
I am going to insist that going forward posts be on topic. Any further "direction" anyone feels the need to give me should be done via email.
 
Thanks.

By the way, gdoctsx1, I like your post, #74.
I see your point about being in Canada, the cost of the vehicle and the amount you need to earn in order to cover the tax and such.
In the US, we do have it pretty good, when comparing to some others, although I still like to complain.
 
I also have a home, family w/ kids and a mortgage to deal with.
I am also at that stage in life where I need to plan for my future (36 yrs old) as well as my kid's.
 
The G came at just the right time in life.
I haven't owned a car like this before, or anything near this price range... and may not ever again.
I sometimes wonder what I was thinking, but I'm enjoying every second of the time I have with this car.
 
It was a good post and a point well made.

With the Canadian dollar at around .95, I'm not sure why i'm paying that much more for a car here. Anyone know? Perhaps it's because the Canadian market is a rounding error in the big picture compared to the european and US car segment. Also, the igloo i live in can't park anything bigger than the TSX
 
My lease will be up in about 2.5 years, so I'll be looking to see what Acura brings out. Right now, I'm having a blast with the TSX, and just put the A-spec ebony finish rims on the car.
 
I'm really loving the look of the new 3-series coupe and the audi A5. BMW will have to have a stong incentive with interest rates for me, just not paying 7.9% on any car. My TSX was at 2.9%.
 
I'd like to see a TSX coupe that's lighter and smaller than the G37 come out. Great styling with the new G37. If the TSX goes more 'upscale', it would be interesting to see if they could create a car that offers the same price advantage and options of this TSX. I'd prefer a normally aspirated engine over the turbo, with an optional 4x drive. If they could keep the weight down (not sure that's possible with 4x drive), I'd like to see a 8000rpm red line. Keep the fun factor high, like this version and i'd consider it over a G37 coupe. I don't care for that huge dial on the G37 dash, and sitting in the new coupe, it felt like all the work was done modifying the lines of the outside, but the inside still felt cheaper than the exterior look of the car. I hope that exhaust sound changes on the G37. Anyone else like or dislike that exhaust sound on the G35?? My brother has an FX35, with that same buzzing sound.

I've been told by my Acura dealer that all cars within their lineup will soon be SH-AWD, so within the next year or two, that will include the TSX.
 
I personally love the sound of the exhaust on my G35.
I've heard the FX35 and it is a weird sound, but the G35 does not sound quite the same. It's a lower tone with a little more grunt... not that strange buzzing noise like in the FX.
 
I've been liking the BMW 335 from what I've seen online.
A co-worker just bought one (coupe) and he parks it right next to my G in the morning.
 
It's completely ugly when it's sitting next to the G, n my own opinion.

Very nice. I've been seeing the new models around the area where I live. Looks like they've got the styling down for this model. I thought the previous model looked a little narrow, but the new one looks "beefier". Watch the cops in that machine!

I can see this chat has not changed since my last post. Keep it going Host PAT.. anyway I would like to address the G35's interior --I think its fantastic-- the nav system and all the entertainment features are great..bose, 6 disk, hard drive, compact flash, sat radio and a mpg hookup --the tsx also has a real nice interior and nice nav system but infiniti has really raised the bar and incorporated the interior of the M to the lower G. The Tsx and the TL are a little dated at this point but I think for the price the TSX is one fantastic auto..but watch out the new accord might be a better deal.. in EX 4cyl form its pumpin out the same 200hp and a newer layout and in v6 form its got a 60 hp advantage with a better interior. its amazing how one year can change the automotive landscape.. i remember in 2000 when i bought my acura integra gsr with 170hp (and a fantastic engine and manual) now 300 hp is the standard along with climate control-ipods and stability control. I do think the g35 right now is that standard the others are looking at --yes bmw and acura along with lexus == the reason is the technology in the car the fantastic nissan engine and the price its hard to beat. Look at the sales numbers and they'll tell you the same.

I would suggest anyone in the market for a great overall car, grab a TSX while you can. My experience has been nothing but positive. I put the Aspec rims on the car and it looks a lot more aggressive. The new Accord, well...hmmmmmm. I'm trying to like it. The coupe, perhaps. The sedan, that thing could have 400hp, still not into the styling. The G35 Sedan and coupe are tough to beat. I personally don't care for the interior (sorry sweendogy). The clock annoys me and still find the interior a bit ergonomically challenged. The interior on the doors is flat, bland and the cabin feels a tad narrow (must be some illusion, because i'm sure it's wider than it feels). However, bang for the buck, it's about the best out there. Looks great on the outside, tons of power and features. It's the interior that kills it for me. After sitting in even the now 'long in the tooth' TSX, still looks better to me. Albeit, the G35 seats felt exceptionally comfortable with great lateral support. I'll see what happens when my lease is up. If the IS350 had back seats, it would be in the running. Perhaps the interior of an Acura, refinement of the Lexus and the looks of the G35 - or a buggati veron if you have a spare 1.4million.
